This is the second vintage of Upper Arlington wine-meister Scott Zanon's homage to his memories of what California zinfandels once achieved. His wine evokes the era before so many California varieties began tasting alike and losing their balance.

Flavor: mulberry; dried stone fruit; hints of evergreen aromatics, with oak there but not in the way; tannic and balanced finish

Notes: This is the second vintage of Upper Arlington wine-meister Scott Zanon’s homage to his memories of what California zinfandels once achieved. His wine evokes the era before so many California varieties began tasting alike and losing their balance.
